Greg Abbott Under Fire Over Texas School Budget Cuts

Texas Governor Greg Abbott has been blamed for a Northwest Harris County school district with over 118,000 students being forced to make serious budget cuts due to the lack of state funding.Back in February, officials from Cypress-Fairbanks Independent School District , a highly rated public school district in Houston, serving students from pre-kindergarten years to grade 12, anticipated a $73.6 million shortfall in the school's 2023-24 budget.

Recent efforts by Abbott to introduce school vouchers, giving parents money to ditch public schools and invest instead in private schools, have been harshly criticized by Democrats and teachers as attempts to run public schools to the ground.Educator and activist Bryan Henry, who founded the education non-profit Cypress Families for Public School, has pointed the finger at the Abbott administration for the troubles of CFISD.
